Self Harm Poem by jess jayne

I saw it shining from afar
it glistens in the moonlight
it glistens in the sunlight

It calls to me
every minute
every hour
every day

The temptation is too strong
for me to stop
so I cut to releve the pain

The blood runs down my arm
then I relaise i have to hide again
I have to hide from all my friends

This causes more pain again
so tomorrow I cut to feel at peace agin.

But every time i have to hide
as they don't understand
why i do it each and every day.

So It calls to me
every minute
every hour
every day

I just wish all the pain would go away.
